Pambansang Ulam: ADOBO

I love adobo! That's why it was the first dish I prepared. Aside from it being easy to cook, there are many versions of it.What I did was the Classic Chicken Adobo.

My Chicken Adobo w/ corn on the side

INGREDIENTS:
500g     chicken

1 cup    pineapple juice (I used Del Monte)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 tbsp    crushed garlic
3           bay leaves
1/8 tsp   pepper
1/2 tsp  whole peppercorns
salt & pepper to taste

PROCEDURE:
1. Place chicken in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
2. In a saucepan, combine juice, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, pepper and whole peppercorns. Bring to boil then add the chicken.
3. Lower the heat and simmer for 25mins or until tender.

Note: Pork cubes can also be added for variation but chicken cooks faster than pork so remove it when already tender then put again into the pan when pork is tender already.

VERDICT: "Medyo maalat ng kaunti. Damihan na lang ng rice!" (Hehehe, i'll adjust next time)
